This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This pilot study is testing transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) — a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain activity — to help treat PTSD in veterans. Researchers want to understand how this treatment works by looking at changes in brain activity and inflammation markers. If you join, you'll receive 10 TMS treatments over 2 to 4 weeks, along with brain scans and blood tests to help scientists learn more.
While TMS has shown promise for treating PTSD, researchers don't fully understand the mechanisms behind why it works. This study aims to fill that gap by examining how the treatment affects both brain function and the body's inflammatory response, which could lead to better treatments in the future.

You will visit the study team 10 times over 2 to 4 weeks to receive TMS treatments, each lasting about 40 minutes. During your participation, you'll also have brain imaging scans (fMRI) to help researchers see how the treatment affects your brain activity, and you'll provide breath and blood samples so scientists can measure inflammation levels. The study team will be with you during each treatment to monitor your safety and response.
